I made the changes you suggested. Please check the attached updated
version to be sure I captured your intent. (01)
Incidentally, you need to supply a COI list even if you are not a co-PI or
senior personnel. Anyone who will be receiving any funding from the
project must supply this list. It includes co-authors (last 48 months),
advisors, advisees, members of advisory boards that you belong to (last 48
months). Check the NSF GPG for the details. (02)
